September 21, 2020

Ingredients

Cooked brown rice or quinoa
Various veggies, for example:
- 2 C mixed greens
- 1-2 carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 -4 yellow or red potatoes, cleaned and diced
- 1/2 C shredded purple cabbage
- Avocado, pitted and sliced
- Parma! Kale Chips
- Zucchini – shredded and lightly sautéed
1 pack firm or extra firm tofu
1 TBL oil of choice

Marinade for tofu and potatoes:

2-4 TBL tamari or soy sauce
Juice from one orange juice
chili flakes (optional)
1 TBL rice vinegar
1 TBL toasted sesame oil

Parma! Sauce Ingredients

1/4 cup tahini or any nut butter you have on hand
1/4 cup Parma!
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 inch to 1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped
1 or 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
2 TBL maple syrup or agave
1 TBL apple cider vinegar
4 TBL water
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Boil water in a pot and add the potatoes and let them cook until al dente (cooked to slightly firm to bite, almost ready to eat) about 10 minutes.
2. For the tofu – first press the tofu. I usually wrap it in a cotton hand towel and put it between two plates with a big heavy bowl on top with a bag of rice in it. Let press for 15-20 minutes, then cut the pressed tofu into cubes. You can youtube other ways to prepare it.
3. Blend Parma! Sauce ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of oil. When hot, add the cubed tofu. Let fry on med-low heat until the bottom is light golden, then gently ease the spatula under the tofu and flip.
5. Let it cook on at least three sides, then add the marinade and toss to coat. Let the marinade simmer and reduce, glazing the tofu.
6. Strain the potatoes.
7. After about 5 minutes of tofu glazing, add the potatoes and stir to coat the potatoes.
8. Once the tofu is lightly caramelized, golden crispy, remove from the heat. (About 10 minutes total.)
9. In a personal serving bowl pile the ingredients to build your bowl:

– rice or quinoa, mixed greens, carrots, sweet pepper, cubed potato, purple cabbage, avocado, tofu, Parma! Kale chips.

Drizzle the Parma! Sauce on top. Enjoy your Vegan Bowl With Parma! Sauce!

  I simply love bacon Parma!!  I use on eggs, in macaroni salad, and on microwaved ears of buttered corn (my fav!).  I am on a strict low sodium diet, as well as being allergic to meat from hooved animals so Parma! is perfect for me without any sacrifice of bacon taste.  I just got some of the Jalapeno bacon and it's delish too!  I'll be a repeat customer without doubt.

  This product is approved by my whole family including my 3, 6 and 7 year old.  We love to put in on popcorn or on top of noodles.  Clean, healthy ingredients.  Perfect for anyone or those who want to be WFPB, no oil or added sugar!

  Parma, plant-based parmesan, is one of the best foods I've found. I tried the Better Than Bacon flavor because I did not want cheese that triples your risk of breast cancer. Parma tasted good and it's nutritional yeast is packed with vitamins, minerals and all essential amino acids making it a complete protein like animal products.

A study found people eating nutritional yeast were 25% less likely to catch colds than those not eating it. Other studies linked nutritional yeast to better moods and less fatigue after exercising. And, Parma offers other great for you ingredients, too.

  Hands down my go to "sprinkle it on everything" condiment! The OG flavor is super tasty but the jalapeno bacon is also amazing- It's especially good on my roasted sweet potato & eggs breakfast!

  Bacon freak comes clean:  I used to be a total baconhead, then I went vegan. I thought I was doomed to a life without bacon, but I was willing to do it for my animal friends. Then I discovered Better Than Bacon. Hoohah! I slather this stuff on everything and buy the big cans, five or ten at time. Jonesing for your clean bacon fix? Grab a can and splarge it across whatever you're having. With Better Than Bacon, you are Good. For. Life.
